About this Spot

Tallow Beach is a surf spot located in New South Wales, Australia. This beach is known for its regional classic waves that provide both left and right breaks, making it suitable for intermediate surfers. The sandy bottom and wave lengths ranging from 50 to 150 meters offer a consistent surf experience. Tallow Beach is less crowded compared to other nearby spots like Wategos Beach, The Pass, and Belongil, allowing for a more relaxed surfing session. However, surfers should be cautious of the rips and undertow, as well as the presence of rocks and occasional shark sightings. The beach is part of a national park, and access may require a walk from designated parking areas. It’s important to check the surf forecast and report before heading out, as conditions can vary. The area offers good camping facilities, making it a great spot for a summer surf trip. While the beach is not ideal for beginners, those with more experience will find it rewarding. Remember to respect the locals, check the surf etiquette when surfing crowded spots, and assess your skills before paddling out to ensure the conditions match your level. For those interested in exploring the area, Byron Bay is the nearest town, offering a laid-back atmosphere and additional surf spots. Respect the locals.
